Best Animal Names

[Bengal Tiger]

Here is where we talk about the best and most interesting animal names, partly inspired by @CheeseChameleon2007’s craziest animal names thread. I just read about a tarantula known as Bumba lennoni. Named after John Lennon of course. I’m curious to hear about other animal names here in the thread.

Qumquat is a perfect name for an elephant. Qumquat was matriarch of QB family from Kenya's Amboseli national Park. Qumquat became a tragic Amboseli icon in October 2012, when she and her two daughters were slaughtered by poachers.

I meant species names, but that’s cool yet sad at the same time.

The younger people on this thread are choosing some of the less mature reasons for animal names on this list, me included (maybe not yet though)

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, but I did not expect those species

Awkward as it may be, that is the typically used name for the fish. And there's plenty of animal names equally as awkward.

Craziest animal names.

I will give you a Han solo to match your gibbon.

 

[Dassie rat]

There is a fossil bandicoot with the scientific name 'Crash bandicoot': Crash bandicoot (species) - Wikipedia

 

[Dassie rat]

The woylie or brush-tailed rat kangaroo was called the "farting rat", due to the abrupt noise it emits if disturbed.

I love the leaf sheep! It’s not the first thing I would think of to describe it, but it kind of makes you see their face like a cute watercolor drawing of a sheep and that the leaflike bodies are like wool. Kinda makes it sound like a Pokémon, now that I’m saying it out loud lol
